See a World's Record Set at O. U .
In the 1,000 yards run may be set on the University of Oklahoma outdoor track at Owen field when Glenn Cunningham, great Kansas runner, and Glen Dawson, former Sooner
"ace," tangle in the feature event of the second annual Oklahoma

ANEW WORLD ' S RECORD
Present world's record in the 1,000 yards is 2 minutes 11 .2 seconds
set by C. Ellis of Great Britain September 7, 1929, at London. The
American outdoor record is 2 minutes 12.2 seconds set in 1923 by
Lloyd Brown. Best time ever made by a Missouri Valley athlete was
the indoor mark of 2 :11 flat set in February, 1928, by Ray Conger,
Iowa State's marvel, while defeating Lloyd Hahn on the board track
at Convention Hall, Kansas City. However, because of some technicality Conger's mark never was recognized .
John Jacobs, Sooner track coach, has announced that three A.A.U.
timers will be secured to clock Cunningham and Dawson in their
record trial here April 7, so there'll be no doubt but what the winner's
time will be official .
Cunningham holds the world's indoor record in the mile run,
4 minutes 8.4 seconds, and in the 1,500 meters, 3 minutes 52.3 seconds,
set last month in Madison Square Garden while defeating Bill Bon
thron, of Princeton. He also holds the National Collegiate record of
4 minutes 9.8 seconds in the mile run. Dawson holds the National
A.A.U. indoor record at 1,000 meters, 2 minutes 27.4 seconds, and has
run the 880 yards outdoors unofficially in 1 :53, the mile indoors in
4 :12.8 and the five miles outdoors in 23 :57. He defeated Cunningham
in the mile run at the Tulsa Athletic club's indoor meet last April 1 .
